Do you Know How to Maintain Leather?
When you wear high-end leather clothes and shoes, it is inevitable that you are often affected by wind and sun, dust pollution and rain. This will harden the leather and fade the color. The criterion for judging whether it is necessary to take care of the leather is based on the feeling that the leather will feel a little dry when you touch the leather goods with your hands. Just like human skin, this is what makes leather interesting. Natural leather will dry or appear shiny, or even fade. You can always observe and touch your leather products to find the most suitable maintenance time for it. The items needed for leather maintenance are: leather special brush, special leather care oil, cloth for wiping care oil, and cloth for dry wiping.
Do you know how to maintain it? Most people will not be able to bypass these three important points.
1. First, clean and wipe the dust on the leather surface
Before taking care, be sure to brush off the dust in a gentle way. It is easier to produce stains at the stitches and side seams, and it is important to carefully remove the dust on each part.
2. Leather cannot be over-maintained
Leather products are like this. If they are used normally, they don't need to be oiled frequently. The important point is that once they are not in use, they are best to be oiled and stored after maintenance. The oiling step is to blow dry and start oiling after drying, remember not to apply too thick, it is best to use silk fabrics, silky and non-oil-absorbing fabrics are appropriate (light-colored silk stockings are recommended, very easy to use)
3. Leather cannot be over-exposed
Don't overexpose it, especially in summer, when it is humid and hot, many leathers will have mildew stains. People often have the misconception that moldy things can be exposed to the sun. In fact, this concept is unreasonable. Moldy leather means that the leather is damaged. Putting the leather in the sun will cause greater damage to the leather, such as cracking and fading of the leather!
